    Why do they make us wait for season tix?

    The first game is nine days away. Why have season tickets not been delivered yet? I don't understand why we need to wait every year. It's all digital – just send them along. I paid for them months ago. It would be nice to have the peace of mind that I had all my tickets and was able to move them...

    OTish Priority Points

    Just renewed both Gampel and XL Season Tickets. I like my seats in the last row of setbacks around the Home Team foul line. Turned down closer seats because we prefer to be on the aisle, There is a nice uncrowdedness at the back, plus the freedom to put stuff behind us. Anyway, we're planning to...

    So What the Heck Are You Doing Until 9:30 Tonight?!?!?!

    I have not been this psyched about a game in a long time. And that means I am super-psyched because I even get up for games against cellar-dwellers. So the day is dragging by. Working from home and getting nothing done. Soaking up every morsel of info on the game and the kids and the atmosphere...

    Call Your Friends and Call Upon Yourself

    I just watched the media day interviews. We are so very fortunate to have such a great group of young ladies on the team we root for. One consistent sentiment among everyone interviewed was the desire to play in front of large crowds and experience the thrill of screaming fans. They really...

    Paradise Jam TV?

    I've been researching the Paradise Jam TV options and it appears the games are only available via streaming on a service called flohoops. It costs $30 for a month of access, which I am sure will auto bill the next month if you aren't vigilant and forget to cancel. Does anyone know if this is the...

    Season Ticket Price Question

    Little things like season ticket announcements help me through the long wait until November. So the announcement came out today. Can't wait to buy, but I have a question. Did the prices jump quite a bit? I don't seem to remember paying over $500 for our three tickets last year. That said, the...

    When do tickets go on sale for Albany?

    This was a great season. I loved each and every minute of it except for the last second of the last game. The wonderful Huskies gave us something special to root for and showed the beauty of their individual personalties. It was a great ride. Now as I savor the memories and watch the boneyard...

    OT -- A heartbreaking end result of a solid play.

    I've never seen a basketball do this before. Eventually the kid will be able to laugh about it, but it must really suck to think about it now. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/highschool-prep-rally/middle-school-basketball-game-ends-in-devastating-way-214517178.html

    Question on Temple Facilities

    We're thinking about going to the Temple game on Sunday. When I go to purchase tickets on the Temple site, it tells me the facility for the game is MCGONIGLE HALL. Unfortunately, I can't find a seating chart for that building anywhere. To add to my confusion, when you click on the "seating...

    Which road game would you choose and why?

    My brother and I decided to go to a long-distance road game together this year. Our first thought was Duke, since we have a nephew in Raleigh. Then we thought maybe Baylor to get that TExas experience. But Florida sounds good in February. We also should figure in the enjoyment/quality of the...

    If this were a WCBB rule, recent UConn-ND record would be very different

    Here's a story for a common-sense rule change in the NBA that I think at least deserves consideration or some pre-season trials. It would still involve ref judgement, but it would be interesting to see how calls might change if the focus was on not falling down. ND would certainly need to...

    It's a given that Heather will be the first player to be brought out. The question is, who second and who is last? Does Caroline get the honor of being introduced last because of her comebacks in the face of adversity and her position as a leader? Does Kelly get the last spot to honor her...

    Rotten Ticket Policy

    Given the many issues my wife and I now have in our lives, we can't get to nearly as many games as we'd like -- so the games we can get to live are special treats. Today we were finally able to make some scheduling decisions and buy a mini plan for the XL Center. We picked the Baylor game and...

    Okay, who wins this hypothetical?

    Pitting the 2012 final-four mascots against one another in a winner-takes-all, steel-cage death match. Who wins? Husky? Bear? Tree? Irish person? (To prevent confusion and spurious claims, the Irish mascot cannot be considered either a leprechaun or under the influence of alcohol)

    Saw the team on the street in Newport last night

    They looked loose, laughing and having fun. Wished them luck and they were all really nice. I keep going back and forth in my head, wondering if it would have been too much of an imposition to ask them to take a photo with my son. In the end I am both glad I didn't and regret that I missed the...

    Your opinions of EDD?

    Given the relative lack of excitement about the Rutgers game this afternoon, I thought we could have a pleasant conversation on pop culture. Remember that TV show ED? I loved that show -- it was on in the early 200s. I loved the quirky plot about a lawyer who runs a bowling alley instead of...

    What if centers were swapped?

    Hypothetically, if Griner and Bone were swapped, would TAMU be the number one team? Would Baylor even be in the top 10? What if the swap is Griner for both Ogwumike the elder and Ogwumike the younger? As long as it's a top-20 team, does Griner automatically make her team #1?
